tragedy mining

When news outlets throw out every nugget of information they have, no matter how insignificant, during a national tragedy to garner traffic.

The news did a three page story on that spree killer’s green shirt. Straight up tragedy mining.

Someone who deliberately entices others into showing sympathy by utilising social media with non-descriptive &/or ambiguous statements designed to invite further questioning and therefore garnering sympathy with their purported issue.

She/He/They are always sympathy mining on Instagram. Eg: poster: “Well that’s that then…” friends of poster “What’s up? Are you okay?”

feature mining

Adding features to software by finding them buried in an epically large code base. Typically sitting unused.

Fixing that error on the home page added a shiny graph.?
Where did that come from?
That code has been there for years?
Whoah that's some good feature mining.
